ACTIVE SHOP

Struggling with the new year resolution already? Don't worry, I got you covered. Vamp up your active kit and get motivated to hit the gym on the reg. I find the best way to get re-motivated is to get some new gear so you're looking good, feeling good. I got you sorted with a complete whole new kit from head to toe for under £100. 

Motivation Tips and Tricks!
- Set yourself short term goals. Looking at the big picture is demotivating. How am I going to get a Victoria Secret model bod in 6 months? Give yourself time! Start with basic goals, such as completing 10 minutes of cardio overtime you go to the gym. If you find yourself achieving these goals consistently, make them harder! Increase your reps! Looking at the end goal can be overwhelming and demotivating.
- Get a bomb playlist going on your iPod. You need those fast past loud songs to keep you going. Enough of Ed Sheeran or Adele!
- Go with a pal. Introduce a friend or find a gym buddy! Have a chat, gossip session and most importantly keep each other going! 
- Take before and after photos. I know it might be cringe taking a cheeky bod photo now and then but it is honestly the best way to track your body changes. Take one every week! Plus, it's a little motivator when you start to compare your pre workout with your current photos.
- I don't know what can be more motivating than seeing your monthly membership come out of your bank! You are spending your money, invest it well and make the most out of it!

20 UNDER £20 | JACKET EDIT

Hey guys! So I thought I would start a 20 under 20 edit, where I show you 20 items I'm loving at the moment for less than £20! First of all I'm starting with my favourite clothing - the jacket. If you're like me, you probably own a whole shop worth of jackets *hehehe*. All these items are BOMB AF, I'm especially loving the bright pink and blues at the moment for a pop of colour under neutral clothing. All of these items are super affordable, so here are 20 excuses to treat yourself! Enjoy! 





















Which was your fav? I think mine is the velvet bomber and I also love the look of longline bombers!

Puffer Jacket of Dreams

GUYS, I HAVE FOUND A RIGHT BARGAIN! If you know me, then you know that I looove oversized jackets - the baggier the better! I found this amazing oversized, cropped, puffer jacket and I just need to share it before it sells out! This beauty is from New Look, and is only a grand smacking £12!!! THIS IS INSANE! You need to get your hands on it pronto. It comes in pink, yellow, green and orange. BUY IT HERE! But be quick, because it's selling out super quick! I just checked New Look website and the pink one keeps going in and out of stock. Save that screen to your homepage and refresh it now and then (that is what I do when something is out of stock but I need it) and it usually comes back in stock within a few days, you just gotta be quick). If New Look didn't have your size, you can also purchase the yellow, green and orange ones on ASOS (but slightly more expensive). Also, don't worry if you're not from the UK! I got this baby delivered to Australia for only £9, which is like $15. Totally affordable!

Size Guide
I got a size 14, which most of you will be thinking eh? I like em' big and baggy I told ya! Plus it is rather cropped, so I preferred a slightly larger size for me and how I like to wear them. However, if you'd rather have the fit true to size, the model on the New Look site is wearing a size 10, so you can see the fit on her.

I like to think this jacket is very versatile. You can wear it for a casual day time 'I'm running errands look', or a 'I'm off to the gym look' and even a 'I'm off on a night out look'. Here is how I styled it.

Dress - H&M

DUNGAREE LOVIN'

Hands up who has been loving' the dungaree look recently? *throws hands in the air* I've been loving this cute, I feel like I'm 5 again look..and it seems a lot of you are too! There are so many fun ways to style dungarees, from wearing a little tee underneath to a fancy, satin blouse. I got my dungarees from Tee Ink @ ASOS, cute little denim number with little shoulder straps. It's unfortunately sold out on ASOS, but you can find it here on another website. Alternatively, there are more bank account friendly versions, such as this one from ASOS, which is very similar! I am wearing it with a simple white crop tee from Missguided. I'm of course wearing my trusty Nike Air Force 1s sneakers which are my go to babies. Links below for all outfit details!
